You're Invited: May The Workforce Be With You Policy and a Pint!

They're having fun, but they're not fooling - join 89.3 The Current and the Citizens League for the upcoming Policy and a Pint on April 1: May the Workforce Be With You. Tackling topics related to attracting and retaining a strong workforce and managing demographic transitions in the years ahead, this conversation is pertinent to myriad Minnesotans. Read below for more details and to save your seat!

What makes a job attractive to a potential employee? If you asked your dad or your grandfather, the answer might be simple: good pay, excellent benefits, opportunities for advancement. With today's younger generation though, you might hear things like "location in a vibrant or artistic city" to "ethical business practices" or even "yoga over the lunch hour." When a company or an industry wants to attract and retain a strong workforce, how do they make themselves appealing to baby boomers and millennials alike? And how do companies in Minnesota plan to do it, faced with our unique needs and challenges in the next few decades? We'll ask these and other questions at our next Policy and a Pint®: May The Workforce Be With You: Attracting The Workers Minnesota Needs for the 21st Century.
